Internal process more important than customers
Two upheld complaints and still no further forward, required forms not getting from Pru staff scheme to their Retirement Account team, no sense of urgency very poor service.
Emailed Pru as suggested after a previous Trustpilot review and heard nothing can’t say I was surprised.
Very disappointing to suffer this level of customer service after having worked for them.
Putting their own internal processes ahead of common sense and good customer outcomes.

Transfer my pension pot!
I started my request to transfer my pension pot Sept 2025. The Pru have made one mistake after another. They keep sending me compensation cheques but just seem to be deliberately delaying the process. They keep sending me forms I have already filled in they have lost one form and requested I send it again which I have done and they still haven’t transferred my pension pot. They are the worst pension company I have used and I have used many. All other companies have sent me my money in weeks! If you make an official complaint they allow them selves 8 weeks to resolve the problem. If you plan to make a complaint to the ombudsman you have to make an official complaint in writing to the Pru first. Hopefully they will transfer my money soon. The Pru are also very poor at keeping me informed so I have to keep chasing them.

Withdrawal
Was able to do all I wanted over the phone, my only problem was I wasn't able to do it on the internet, hence having to make a phone call.

Issuing of P60's
You patiently and carefully got there in the end, but a clearer initial notification with all policy numbers quoted would have avoided my misunderstanding.
